4 Ultra fast drying material FX Hour Ultra durable material FX9500 We innovate to ensure that our customers are the first to benefit from pioneering advancements in products, coatings and their application. This unique, patented, technology allows even a two hour fire protection system to be applied in a single coat and be ready to handle in around one hour. Where maximum throughput is a paint shop s priority there is nothing on the market which can match FX6000. Designed for off-site application, FX6000 can be used in environments up to C5 (ISO ). It has excellent mechanical properties which minimise damage from handling and erection of the coated steelwork. At Sherwin-Williams we understand the growth drivers for your business and strive to deliver coatings solutions without compromise. Derived from Sherwin-Williams hydrocarbon fire protection materials which have proven durability in the most harsh environments known, including Northern Canada, the Arctic and the North Sea, FX9500 is a two component epoxy coating for projects where durability in a challenging environment is the primary concern. Formulated to allow application, on-site or off-site using standard airless spray equipment FX9500 provides fire protection for up to two hours in all environments for simple rolled steel items and cellular beams. Not only is the material highly durable, its mechanical characteristics make it tough and resistant to the mechanical damage which can be caused by handling and erecting steelwork coated with other fire protection products. 4

5 Why choose coatings? coatings can provide a smooth, durable finish that allows flexibility and creative exposure of structural steel surfaces in building design, whilst also providing essential fire protection of steelwork from minutes. In the event of a cellulosic fire, coatings expand through chemical reaction to produce a tough and resilient insulating char. This char reduces the rate of temperature rise in the steel for up to two hours. Providing structural integrity and time for building evacuation. Intumescent reaction Applied dry film thickness Column A has 3200µm (3.2mm) of coating applied. Column B has 1070µm (1.07mm) of coating applied.

A fire with a fuel source predominantly of cellulose (e.g. timber, paper, cotton). These fires reach a temperature of 950 C after 60 minutes and with steel losing around 50% of its structural strength at 550 C, structural failure of unprotected steel could occur after as little as 15 minutes of exposure.

6 Intumescent system types We offer a comprehensive portfolio to meet the specific requirements of a wide variety of projects. FIRETEX solvent based systems are fast drying and well suited for application all year round. FIRETEX water based systems meet the requirements of international environmental standards, have low odour and are ideal for confined areas. FIRETEX methacrylate based systems employ patented technology to facilitate ultra-fast curing of the coating. FIRETEX epoxy based systems deliver the ultimate in durability for long term service in harsh environments. Ease of use Whether you need to coat in shop, or on site in all types of climate, systems are designed with your considerations in mind. Application can be done by airless spray or brush, providing applicators with ease of use and control. Fast application by airless spray provides minimal disruption to project contract schedules. Good viscosity allows for a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing finish. M72 Mastic allows contractors to quickly repair damaged areas with no adverse effect on the overall fire protection. Over coating can be done after just four hours. Excellent storage stability saves time during the application process as it ensures minimum mixing or preparation before application be it by brush or airless spray. Testing and approvals Explosion proof materials Although there is no legislative requirement anywhere in the world regarding explosion testing in civil construction, we have carried out gas explosion tests to ensure thin film coatings enhance the safety of tall buildings. Witnessed by Bodycote Warrington Fire at Advantica Technology, Spadeadam UK, steel sections were protected using range of cellulosic products and were subjected to a 104 msec explosive blast that generated 1697 mbar of overpressure. The sections were subsequently subjected to hydrocarbon fire. The results reported by Advantica indicate that coatings were unaffected by the gas explosion and Bodycote Warrington Fire concluded that the products provided a significant level of hydrocarbon fire resistance. Third party verified All materials are independently tested, verified and certified to the most stringent international standards, including: UL263/ASTM E119 EN & 9 BS476 Part 20/21 DIN 4102 Part 2 GOST The Certifire Scheme. 6

7 Primers and top coats Sherwin-Williams coatings have been designed for optimum use in conjunction with our specially formulated primers and top coats. See the chart overleaf for Sherwin-Williams certified protection systems. Primers The key purpose of a primer is to protect blast prepared steel substrates from decay and in the event of mechanical damage to the coating, a primer will stop the spread of corrosion. Macropoxy C400 Series multi-purpose coatings provide excellent application properties by airless spray, and can provide low temperature curing down to 5 C. Suitable for use with both shop and site applied. C69 can be overcoated after 30 mins with FX coatings offering a fast-track solution to shop application. Top coats A top coat keeps a coating looking at its best and ensures the full life of a coating is reached. All coatings contain certain key ingredients necessary for the reaction. These ingredients are moisture sensitive and alongside careful formulation it is also essential to apply protective sealant coats to protect the properties of the fire protection from the weather. Sealer coats must be used for external environments to achieve durability, they also offer a decorative finish to coatings. Acrolon C137V2, Acrolon C237 & Acrolon 7300 high performance, two pack, fast drying acrylic urethane gloss finishes for use where long term exterior gloss and colour retention characteristics are required. (Acrolon C237 is a sheen finish). M71V2 is a single pack sheen finish for the FX range of coatings in internal environments. It must be used in a C2 service environment to provide resistance to condensation. Sher-Cryl M770 is a water based, single pack, gloss finish for use in areas where solvent emissions are not desirable. It must be used in a C2 service environment to provide resistance to condensation. Also used as an essential decorative sealercoat for the FX range to provide resistance to moisture. In C1 & C2 environments a single component top coat may be used, for C3 & C4 environments a two component top coat will be specified. In a C5, highly corrosive environment a high durability (i.e. FX9500 and FX6000) should be used and a two component top coat specified for decorative reasons.
